Drew was born December 28, 1972 in San Bernardino, California to Francis Craig and Carla Jean (Messlin) Manley. As a military family Drew graduated high school in South Korea, moved to Florida and later looking for a change moved to Spearfish, South Dakota where he met and married Pamela Ann Schwans on June 14, 1996. Drew and Pam moved to Northern Michigan where Drew worked for Biewer Lumber in McBain and Lake City for many years. He also worked at MC Sports and was currently the general manager for Antioch Hills Golf Course in Mesick. Wherever Drew was he had the ability to form friendships and make others feel valued. He was generous and kind and took care of others, whether at the golf course or in their kitchen at home. Family was very important to Drew; he was especially proud and supportive of his children. He bonded with his son, Christopher through their shared love of music and food. Cooking was a passion of Drew's. He loved to host and entertain and showed his love towards others through cooking and sharing his recipes. Whenever his daughter, Megan, the apple of his eye, had friends over he was more than happy to go to the kitchen to create whatever they wanted. Drew was a member of The Tabernacle in Buckley where his faith was renewed. He found new purpose and was able to look to the Lord with a fresh perspective.
